This `terminal-transcript-rows` key can be used to adjust the terminal transcript rows. The user can set an integer value between `100` and `50000`. The default value is still `2000`. So adding an entry like `terminal-transcript-rows=10000` to `termux.properties` file will allow users to scroll back ~10000 lines of command output. After updating the value, termux must be restarted. You can also run `termux-reload-settings` command so that termux loads the updated value, but only new sessions will use the updated value, existing sessions will not be affected.
You can test this with the following, where `70` is number of `x` characters per line and `10001` is the number of lines to print.
`x="$(printf 'x%.0s' {1..70})"; for i in {1..10001}; do echo "$i:$x"; done`
Be advised that using large values may have a performance impact depending on your device capabilities, so use at your own risk.
Closes#2071
1. If `soft-keyboard-toggle-behaviour=enable/disable` was set, then pressing keyboard toggle wouldn't show the keyboard after switching back from another app if keyboard was previously disabled by user.
2. If switching back from another app, like when opening url with context menu "Select URL" long press and returning to termux with back button, then soft keyboard wouldn't automatically open like it does on app startup.
Also fixed issue where OnFocusChangeListener wasn't being set up if keyboard had to be hidden or disabled on startup.
Fixes#2111, Fixes#2112
The TerminalToolbarViewPager EditText was requesting focus when it was selected. This called the TerminalView.onFocusChange() event with hasFocus=false, which closed the soft keyboard. Now soft keyboard will only be closed if both of them don't have focus.
Fixes#2077
The following exception may be thrown, likely because of unreleased resources.

Fixed bug where cursor would become invisible when long holding (arrow) keys when editing commands (outside of text editors like nano).
Updated javadocs with info on how cursor blinking works
"Performance Improvements" and removed redundant mRendering check
All external and internal values were already logged and required log level to be set to "Verbose" in Termux Settings, but now invalid values and the default value used instead will be logged at log level "Normal" as well.
The `TermuxPropertyConstants` class has been updated to `v0.10.0`. Check its Changelog sections for info on changes.
This `terminal-cursor-blink-rate` key can be used to enable terminal cursor blinking. The user can set an int value between `100` and `2000` which will be used as blink rate in millisecond. The default value is `0`, which disables cursor blinking. So adding an entry like `terminal-cursor-blink-rate=600` to `~/termux.properties` file will make the cursor attempt to blink every 600ms. Running `termux-reload-settings` command will also update the cursor blinking rate instantaneously if changed.
A background thread is used to control the blinking by toggling the cursor visibility and then invalidating the view every x milliseconds set. This will have a performance impact, so use wisely and at your own risk.
If the cursor itself is disabled, which is controlled by whether DECSET_BIT_CURSOR_ENABLED (DECSET 25, DECTCEM), then blinking will be automatically disabled. You can enable the cursor with `tput cnorm` or `echo -e '\e[?25h'` and disable it with `tput civis` or `echo -e '\e[?25l'`.
Note that you can also change the cursor color by adding `cursor` property to `~/colors.properties` file, like `cursor=#FFFFFF` for a white cursor.
The `TermuxPropertyConstants` class has been updated to `v0.9.0`. Check its Changelog sections for info on changes.
Closes#153
When getting SharedPreferences of other termux sharedUserId app packages, we get its Context first and if its null, it would mean that the package is not installed or likely has a different signature. For this case, we force exit the app in some places, since that shouldn't occur. Previously, if it was null, we were defaulting to getting SharedPreferences of current package context instead, which would mix keys of other packages with current one. SharedPreferences of other app packages aren't being used currently, so this isn't an issue, this commit just fixes the issue for future.
Force exit will also be triggered if Termux is forked and TermuxConstants.TERMUX_PACKAGE_NAME is not updated to the same value as applicationId since TermuxActivity.onCreate() will fail to get SharedPreferences of TermuxConstants.TERMUX_PACKAGE_NAME.
Moreover, its normally not allowed to install apps with different signatures, but if its done, we "may" need AndroidManifest `queries` entries in andorid 11, check PackageUtils.getSigningCertificateSHA256DigestForPackage() for details.
Users can enable this behaviour by enabling the `Termux Settings` -> `Keyboard I/O` -> `Soft Keyboard Only If No Hardware` toggle.
Currently, for this case, soft keyboard will be disabled on Termux app startup and when switching back from another app. Soft keyboard can be temporarily enabled in show/hide soft keyboard toggle behaviour with keyboard toggle buttons and will continue to work when tapping on terminal view for opening and back button for closing, until Termux app is switched to another app. After returning back, keyboard will be disabled until toggle is pressed again.
This also may help for the Lineage OS bug where blank space is shown where soft keyboard should be if "Show soft keyboard" toggle in "Language and Input" is disabled. Check KeyboardUtils.shouldSoftKeyboardBeDisabled() and https://github.com/termux/termux-app/issues/1995#issuecomment-837080079 for details.
The `TermuxPreferenceConstants` class has been updated to `v0.10.0`. Check its Changelog sections for info on changes.
This `soft-keyboard-toggle-behaviour` key can be used to change the behaviour. The default behaviour is `show/hide`. The user can set the value to `enable/disable` in `termux.properties` file to change default behaviour of keyboard toggle buttons to enable/disable. In this mode, tapping the keyboard toggle button will disable (and hide) the keyboard and tapping on the terminal view will not open the keybaord automatically, until the keyboard toggle button is pressed again manually. This applies to split screen and floating keyboard as well. The keyboard can also be enabled from Settings -> Keyboard I/O -> Soft Keyboard toggle. Running `termux-reload-settings` command will also update the behaviour instantaneously if changed.
Fixed issue where "hide-soft-keyboard-on-startup" property wouldn't work if Termux app was switched back from another app. Fixes#1098
Fixed issue where soft keyboard may not show on startup on some devices but it still may fail sometimes.
The `TermuxPropertyConstants` class has been updated to `v0.7.0`. Check its Changelog sections for info on changes.
This is an update to 4d1851e6 commit.
The toggle logic change previously was actually being applied to ctrl+alt+k hardware keyboard shortcut instead of the mentioned extra keys "KEYBOARD" toggle. However, now it applies to the extra keys "KEYBOARD" toggle button as well, in addition to drawer "KEYBOARD" toggle button and ctrl+alt+k hardware keyboard shortcut. They will all behave the same now.
Updated onSingleTapUp() to also forcefully show keyboard.
Fixed issue where "hide-soft-keyboard-on-startup" property wasn't respected anymore due to forced keyboard showing done in 4d1851e6.
Removed "stateAlwaysVisible" flag from AndroidManifest since its ignored in Android 10 by default and not needed due to usage of InputMethodManager.showSoftInput(). https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/WindowManager.LayoutParams#SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_VISIBLE
Moved "adjustResize" from AndroidManifest into java code (which is also deprecated in API 30) to centralize keyboard logic.
For Termux app to be able to show a soft keyboard while a hardware keyboard is attached requires either of 2 cases:
1. User has enabled "Show on-screen keyboard while hardware keyboard is attached" toggle in Android "Language and Input" settings.
2. The toggle is disabled, but the soft keyboard app overrides the default implementation of `InputMethodService.onEvaluateInputViewShown()` and returns `true`. Some keyboard apps have a setting for this, like HackerKeyboard, but its not supported by all keyboard apps.
https://cs.android.com/android/platform/superproject/+/android-11.0.0_r3:frameworks/base/core/java/android/inputmethodservice/InputMethodService.java;l=1751
Termux previously didn't forcefully show a keyboard when the drawer "KEYBOARD" toggle button was pressed and only did that for the "KEYBOARD" extra keys toggle button. This prevented the keyboard to be shown for case 2 even when the user attempted to show the keyboard with the drawer "KEYBOARD" toggle. Now both buttons will forcefully show the keyboard.
Moreover, previously at app startup for case 2, the keyboard wasn't being shown. Now it will automatically be shown without requiring a manual press of a "KEYBOARD" toggle button.
This may also solve the issue where the soft keyboard wouldn't show even when the toggle of case 1 was enabled.
Rooted users were getting `Clearing $TMPDIR directory at path "/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/tmp" failed` flash errors when they exited Termux if directories existed in TMPDIR that only had `root` user ownership, since they would fail to get cleared since clearing was being run as the termux app user instead of as the root user. Now errors will only be logged to logcat.
This only reverts the versioning login change done in a6ae656c since that caused F-Droid bot and Github Packages to fail to pick up new releases. The versions must be bumped directly in `build.gradle` file in future and not through other files like `gradle.properties`.
